CHICAGO (AP) — Adrian Houser tossed seven solid
innings, and the Chicago White Sox stopped Toronto’s 10-game winning
streak, beating the Blue Jays 2-1 on Wednesday.
Houser (5-2) won his third straight start. Edgar Quero hit an RBI double
and scored in a two-run fourth against Toronto starter Eric Lauer (4-2),
and Chicago stopped the Blue Jays one win shy of their franchise record.
